Although there has been, I am happy to say, no recurrence/ of the outrages reported in the latter part of my dispatch of the 11th of July last, and although agitation by mean of public meetings appears to have ceased, yet the efforts' of those who are seeking, as it would seem, to disturb the existing order of things continue unabated, and show them selves in seditious and inflammatory publications and in the resolutions and acts of the committees that have been organised in one or two counties in the district of Montreal, where the proceedings are of a private and exclusive character, though some of them are occasionally made public through the organs of the party, the Minerve and Vindicator news papers. The principal of these Committees, styled the Central and Permanent Committee of the county of Mon treal, holds its sittings weekly in the city of Montreal, and the objects of it, as set forth in the I3th resolution passed at the meeting of St. Laurent (county of Montreal) on the 15th of May, are " to watch over the political interests of the country—to correspond with the other counties in this and the sister province, to adopt such measures as may from time to time appear necessary to protect the rights of the people, and advance the cause of good government in these colonies; and to carry into execution, as far as lies in the power of the Corn. mittee, the various recommendations, suggestions, and deter minations agreed to at the meeting." There have been no steps ;et taken, as far as I aan Itarn, for establishing a general convention beyond the recommen dation contained in the resolutions adopted at the different meetings for organising one, and the naming, in such resolu tions, delegates to attend when the time and place of assem bling shall be fixed. Before closing this communication, should mention that there have been six meetings held,including those in the cities of Quebec and Montreal, of which I have already apprized your Lorthhip, where resolutions were passed of an opposite character to those I have above noticed. No. XXXIX. EXTRACTS OF A DISPATCH FROM THE EARL OF GOSFORD TO LORD GLENELO, DATED CASTLIII ST. LEWIS, CILEBF.C, OCTOBER 12, 1837. The system of agitation, and the attempts to create dis affection, and to ripen it into revolution, of which I have spoken in previous dispatches, are, I regret to say, still unremittingly, and with more boldness than ever, carried on by M. Papincau and the party that act with him, comprising the greater number of the members of the Assembly returned for the district of Montreal. In several of the counties of that district they have succeeded, if rumour and their newspaper organs are to be cre dited, beyond what T hod anticipated, although I have reason to telieve that in the parts which may be said to be most disaffected, the majority of the rural population is as yet but little inclined to join in the views aad schemes of the agitators, who, however, by misrepresentation, and by the instrumentality of fear and in tim'cletion, have so far worked upon their minds as to produce a degree of inertness in opposing the progress of the movement, and in aiding the administration of justice and the course of social order, that cannot fail to afford grounds for serious con sideiation. The mode of proceeding adopted for keeping up and increasing this feeling is by parading nightly, in the town of Montreal, large and organized bands of men, who, however, have as yet proceeded to no acts of violence or breaches of the peace; by inflammatory speeches at meetings; by seditious publications and resolutions of the Central Committees ; by placing (in the most disturbed of the rural parishes) those who are loyal and hold opposite political opinions under a species of excommunication, and keeping them in dread of nocturnal injuries to their property; by burning in effigy those in higher stations, sal by subjecting thorn to a kind of annoy ance called a charivari, which is the assembling of a crowd before their doors, fer the purpose of alarming them and their families at night with uncouth noises, hisses, threats, and other manifestations of popular displeasure. Sir John Colborne, the lion. Mr. Debartzch, and others, have been exposed to this kind of outrage, which, in a recent instance, at St. Denis, in the County of Richelieu, was unhappily at- Vnded with loss of life and property ; a lady, Madame St. Jacques having, as it is reported, fired, or given directions to Er • upon the mob, when, not content with the proceedings usual on such occasion=, they had actually broken into her house; two persons were thereby wounded, of whom ono has since died. The house was immediately dernolisheJ, but not before the inmates had escaped. Madame St. Jacques was, however, shortly afterwards apprehended and committed by a Magistrate to the Montreal gaol, where I believe she yet remains. Some of the immediate, fruits of the system now in opera tion, which, if not put down, must lead to the worst conse quences are to be seen in the apathy and inaction of such of the magistracy and persons ef property who had not joined the revolutionary party; in the extreme difficulty of obtaining accurate and available information of what is passing ; and, judging from recent events, in the little probability, even if evidence of sufficient weight could be procured to arraign the offenders of a jury, t.k.un from the district of Montreal, finding bills, and convicting on them. Trio electors of the five coursties bordering on the Richelieu river, viz., Richelieu, Ch,,mbly, St. ilyacinthe, Rouville, and Verche-es, having been called upon by the Montreal Central Committee, intend, I understand, to have a meeting on the 23d instant, at which, no d ou b t , M r. P ap i neau and his prin cip.d supporters will be present. What are the precise ob jects of this meeting I have not been able to asceilain ; pro bably to produce an effect hare and at home, to recommend resistance to the authorities, a general convention, the orga nization of the people, and in fact to prepare them as much as possible for receiving and forwarding the views of the Iparty, who, it is now evident, aim at nothing short of a revo ution, and would, I bel:cve, commence it immediately if they thou;ghtilthernselves sufficiently supported by the mass of the pJrulatioa. Many rumours are in c'rculation : one, that it is intended at this meeting to issue a declaration of independ ence ; and another, that the plan is to wait till the navigation closes and the winter sets in, and then to commence active operations, when the military can receive no assistance or supplies from without. Ido not myself credit these reports, nor yet apprehend any serious disturbance, although there arc, I admit, some persons of experience and inform a ti on w h o think otLrwis,!. It is I.roperthat I should represent to you the inadequacy of the powers at the disposal of the local covernment for meeting the difficulties that surround it. The law fails to afford itsisupport ; the civil authorities EK:corric therefore im portint: the Habess Corpus Act cannot be suspended. The clergy, though well disposed and loyal, are reluctant to come forward ; any farther eppeal to the present Parliament would not oot:, be inexpedie n t and useless, b ut pos i tive l y i njurious; and a dissolution off: r; no prospect of a more reasonable (louse of Assembly, nor any hope that the na w house, which would be composed of a majority of the old members, would recede in any particular from the demands so,psrtinaciously insisted on by the pres;:nt body. Indeed, a dissolution, if de cided on at all, should not at any rate be resorted to before the whole of the measures and arrangements you now have in contemplation respecting this province shall have passed into law and be perfected. In such circumstances, and seeing that the Im::,erial Parlia ment has solemnly and unequivocally stated that it will not accede to the Assembly's demands, I am forced, however re luctantly, to come to the conclusion that the only practical course:now open fur conducting the affairs of this province with any benefit to the inhabitants generally, is at once formally to suspend the present Constitution, which both parties unite in confessing cannot now be worked, and which has in fact for the last twelve months been virtually suspended; to increase the military force, and to strengthen the hands of the execu tive, now almost impotent for any good,; useful purpose. I do not really see any other plan left for defending the French Ca nadian:from the ruinous consequences that must soon overtake him should Papineau and his party succeed in their revolu tionary schemes; schemes that, without adverting to consi derations connected with the adjoining provinces, should be resisted, in justice to that portion of the population who have settled here, relying upon British faith and protection, who are firm in their allegiance, and avowedly hostile to any disrup tion of the connection subsisting between the colony and parent state. In conclusion, I would remind your Lordship that the description I have given of passing events is drawn from ma terials furnished almost exclusively from the district of Mon treal ; the four other districts remaining as yet passive, though I believe the agitators have einissa.ries busy amongst them. In the city of Quebec a Central Committee has been established, of which Mr. Morin, I perceive, is a member, and which is intended probably to be similar in object and operation to its prototype at Montreal, but its purposes and regulations are not yet made known. XLIV. [ln this despatch Lord Gosford's resignation is accepted. XLV. COPY OF A DESPATCH FROM LORD GLENELO TO LIEUTENANT GENERAL SIR JOHN COLBORNE, K. C. B.,IDATED DOWNING STREET, NOVEMBER 27, 1637. Sir—This despatch will be placed in your hands by the Earl of Gosford, and will apprise you that he is about to retire from the government of Lower Canada. By the terms of his Lordship's commission, the provisional administration of that Government will devolve on you, until her Majesty shall have appointed some other person to fill that office. I trust that it is unnecessary to state that Lord Gosford re tires without the slightest diminution on either side of the con fidence which has invariably subsisted between himself and the Ministers of the Crown ; on the contrary, the circumstances which . have led to thi s measure greatly enhance his previous elaiclaims on their res p ect a n d gra ti tu d e. Wi t h a generous su periority to every selfish consideration, Lord Gosford has frankly referred to her Majesty's Government the question, whether it might not be conducive to the public interests that the Government should be placed in the hands of an officer less implicated in the events of the last few years than him self, and has desired them to be guided in their decision by an exclusive regard to the public welfare. I am deeply conscious that the duties which will devolve on you during your te.riporary administration will be of grave responsibility ; but you will not on that account shrink from encountering them with calmness and courage. lam happy to learn from the communications which have reached me from the General commanding in chief, that your mili tary arrangements have been conducted with that foresight and decision - on which Lord Hill had every reason to calculate, and which I trust will have powerfully contributed to arrest the attempts to which the more reckless of the leaders in agi tation might otherwise have resorted. To maintain or restore tranquillity. and to assert the dominion of the law, is the im mediate object to be attained. Without proposing to fetter the discretion which must necessarily be vested in you, I shall, in a few days, address to you such instructions as appear to be required by the existing state of Lower Canada. In the mean time I will only assure you, that your measures will receive the most favourable construction, and that you will be seconded by the most full and cordial support which it is in the power of her Majesty's gouernment to afford you. No. XL VI. EXTRACT OP A DISPATCH PROM THE EARL OP GOSFORD TO LORD GLENELO, DATED CASTLE ST.. LEWIS, NOVEMBER 6, 1837. My two last dispatches will have given you some idea of the political state of the province. Since those communi cations were written the plans and designs of the seditious have become much more apparent ; and I regret to say, that their efforts and activity are producing results, to arrest which requires the aritoption of much more vigorous and de cisive measures the.% it is within the power of the Executive Government to put in force. Large bodies of them are openly drilled in military tactics, every Sunday, in and near the city of Montreal ; and although no concealment is practised, no attempt is made by the civil authorities to put a stop to this treasonable practice, or to arrest and punish those engaged in them. The reasons assigned for this want of energy in the disc:narge of a public duty are, Ist, the absence of sworn information to identify the parties ; and, 2dly, the want of a civil force sufficient to prevent these illegal assemblages, and to vindicate the law. In addition to these public drills, lam informed that there are daily drills going on of small bodies of men in private yards and enclosures, and that several French officers have recently been introduced into Montreal from the United States, for the purpose of giving instruction in military organization, about which they are now busily engaged. On the other hand, the English party in that city have revived an old Association, called " The Doric Club," and are likewise drilling and arming ; and I have every reason to apprehend that some unfortunate collision kill before long take place. have used and am still using every endeavour to arrest the progress of anarchy and confusion that is spreading with great rapidity throughout the district of Montreal; but I find the ordinary pourers of the Executive quite insufficient for the purpose. I mentioned to your Lordship, in my dispatch of the Ist instant, that a meeting of the Six Counties had taken place on the 23d of October at St. Charles, and forwarded to , you the resolutions then passed; I now enclose, for your in formation, the address to the Canadian people, which has been prepared and issued by a Committee named on that oc casion. Since the meetings, the poison that the agitators have been so industriously scattering appears to have spread more extensively, and been doing its work with more rapidity and success than ever ; and in many of the counties in the district of Montreal a very large proportion of the rural popu lation are in such a state that it is difficult to say what lengths they may not be urged to go. The object of the leaders appears now to be to put down the authority of the Government, by compelling those who hold commissions under it, in the magistracy or militia, to throw them up ; for this purpose large bodies of men in dis guise visit at night those who are loyal or disapprove of their proceedings, and by threats of personal violence and destruc tion of property, force them to send in their resignations, and extort from them promises to join the ranks of the Patriots, as they term themselves. By means of this system of terrorism and midnight maraud ing, they have succeeded in overawing the well-disposed, so that several have forsaken their properties to seek refuge in the towns or in the neighbouring states ; and many magistrates and officers of militia have requested me to accept their resig nations, explaining that they took this step in order to save their lives and property. I need not dwell further on this part of the case ; it is time that I should inform you of the steps I have taken to meet, as far as they can, the exigencies of the moment. In my des , patch of the '2lst ultimo, I mentioned thatl had written to con sult with Sir John Colborne as to the practicability and expe diency of drawing troops from the lower provinces. Ills an swer being in the affirmative, I immediately despatched a letter to Sir Colin Campbell, requesting, if he could spare it, ano:her regiment ; and in about a week SirJohnColborne sent off an express, urging very strongly that two regiments should on immediately sent up. Sir John has also drawn as many troops as possible from the Upper Province. I have despatched Attorney-General to Montreal, with instructions to use his utmost exertions to maintain good order, and execute the laws against those who arc now openly infringing them. With this view I have directed him to organize an efficient police force in that city, and, in short, to leave nothing un done to maintain the public tranquillity. I have also armed him with the necessary authority to deal according to law with the foreign military officers who may be found engaged in treasonable or seditious practices. I have directed the clerks of the peace in the districts of Montreal and Three Rivers to call on all magistrates who have not yet taken the oath of allegiance to her Majesty, to come forward immedi a:ely and take the same, and to report to me the names of those who decline or omit so to do. But, after all, theselmea sures will not put down the system of organization and arming that now is extensively going forward in the district of Mon treal, nor will they prevent it from spreading into the other districts. After mature deliberation on the state in which the pro vince is now placed, by t'se machinations of the agitators, whose designs have tecom e t oo p a lp a bl e t o b e mistaken, I am forced to the unwelcome conclusions, that, unless some ex traordinary powers be immediately placed in the hands o f the Local Executive, such as that of suspending the habeas corpus, and declaring martial law over the whole or parts of the province, the tide of sedition cannot be stemmed but by resort to active military operations—an alternative which I cannot contemplate without the most painful reluc tance. The knowledge that the Eaccutive possesses these ; , owcr3 would probably produce such art effect on the minds of the ill-disposed as to render it unnecessary to exert them. In any event, some prompt and decisive measure must be adopted by the Imperial authorities, to enable the machinery of the local Government to perform its functions ; it is now nearly at a standstill, and it would be idle to expect that either the pre sent or a row House of Assembly, if summoned, would in any tray assist in removing the serious difficulties that now exist— indeed, from all that has passed, I should fear that they would augment our embarrassment. The grievances which were at first put forward by the leaders of this party would seem to have been mere pl.etexts to clothe deeper and darker designs. The mask has now been thrown aside, and the people are ex cited to disaffection and rebellion by the most artful and un founded misrepresentations ; and even if all the demands of the Assembly were fully and immediately granted. they would, I begin to think, be insufficient to satisfy the views of those whose evident aim is not to reform, but to destroy, the esta blished Government and British connection. No. XLVII. COPT OF A DETPATCD PROM THE EARS, OF GCSFORD:TO LORD OLENELG, DATED CASTLE OF ST. LEWIS, QUEBEC, NOVEM RE:: 9, 1837. (No. 116.) My Lord—l have in a late communication expressed an apprehension that some collision would take place ere long between the opposing parties in the town of Montreal, and I have now, with regret, to acquaint your Lordship that my apprehension has been realised. From the accounts that reached m* late last night, I find that, notwithstanding a public warning issued by the Magistrates, who seem to have been alive to what was intended, and to have fortified them selves with legal advice for their conduct in case of a dis turbance, the Patriots, as they are termed, assembled in a private yard in St. James's -street, on Monday the 6th in stant, to the number of 300 or 330, and about half-past four o'clock sallied forth into the streets with banners, and armed principally with bludgeons, but in some instances, I under stand, with more deadly weapons. A riot was the obvious con sequence. No lives fortunately were lost; but in the course of the evening several individuals were mush hurt, and some attempts were made to damage the property of persons obnoxious to either party, amongst others that of Mr. Papi neau, which were prevented by the timely presence of the mi litary, whom the magistrates called out, after the main con flict between the Patriots and Constitutionalists had termi nated in the discomfiture of the former. The Vindicator newspaper was, however, attacked by a party of the latter, after the disturbance was supposed to have ended; and be fore the troops could arrive fur its protection, the presses, types, paper, &c., belonging to the establishment were de stroyed and thrown into the streets. Amongst those who were severely handled in the conflict was Mr. T. S. Brown, reputed, I am informed, to be an American, but who has been for some years settled in Mon treal, and carried on business there as a hardware merchant, in which he became bankrupt about two years ago. This in dividual, from the very active part he has taken in orga nizing and drilling the Patriots, and advancing their views, has rendered himself particularly obnoxious to the other party. He was, I =lf/stand, the leader of the band who issued from the yard arrt originated the riot. No. XLVII. COPY OP A DISPATCH FROM LORD OLENELG TO LIEUTENANT GENERAL SIR JOHN COLBORNE, K.C.8., DATED DOWNING STREET, DEC. 6, 1837. Sir—My dispatch of the 27th ultimo will have apprised you' of the approaching retirement of the Earl of Gosfoad from the Government of Lower Canada, an event which, by the terms of his Lordship's Commission, will devolve upon you the temporary administration of the affairs of that province. It is at once my duty and my anxious desire to relieve you, as far as possible, from the very arduous responsibility attendant upon the discharge of that duty at the present moment. I do not, however, propose to enter upon any . statement of the course to be pursued respecting those questions of permanent policy which have been agitated between the Executive Go vernment and the House of General Assembly. All such discussions, however important, are for the present superseded by the }argent necessity which has arisen for maintaining the public pace and restoring the authority of the law. To that one great object your undivided attention will be given, and to that alone will my present communication be confined. I enumerate in the margin the series of Lord Gosford's dis patches, which describe the gradual but rapid advance of the enemies of peace and order, from complaints urged at least under the forms of the Constitution to the very verge of rebel lion. The conclusion from the whole of this intelligence is inevitable, that the leaders of the movement party are restrained only by some remaining considerations of prudence from rais ing the standard of open insurrection. It is therefore neces sary to consider how this crisis is to be encountered. You appear already to have concentrated upon the points most exposed to danger every part of her Majesty's forces in British North America which it has been possible to with draw from the adjacent provinces. Arrangements have been made for increasing, if neccessary, the number of troops under your command with the return of the spring. In the mean time, I trust that your present fore' will be sufficient to awe the seditious, and to suppress any victual rising which the civil power may be unable to control. If, however, your strength should be inadequate to these Objects, you will of course avail yourself of the ♦oluntary seal of suck of her Majesty's loyal subjects as may be willing to serve under your authority, and to submit themselves entirely to your orders. The first and highest prerogative as id duty of the Crown is the protection of those who maintain . their allegiance against the enemies of order and peace. To repress by arms any in surrection or rebellion to which the civil power cannot be suc cessfully opposed, is therefore a legitimate exercise of the royal authority ; and, in the attainment st' f this object, the proclarna • tion of martial law may become hid ispensable. It is superfluous to state with w'mat caution and reserve this ultimate resource should be resonei I to, and that it ought to be confined within the narrowest - limits which the necessity of the case will admit. But if unlaappily the ease shall arise in any part of Lower Canada, in which the protection of the loyal and peaceable subjects of the Crown may require the adoption of this extreme mess are, it must not be declined. Reposing the utmost confidence in your prudence that such a measure will not be needlessly taken, and relying on your firm ness that, if taken, it will be followed up with the requisite energy, her Majesty's Government are fully prepared to assume to themselves the responsibility of instructing you to employ it, should you be deliberately convinced that the occasion impera tively demands it. They will, with confidence, look to Par liament for your indemnity and their own. It might embarrass, but could hardly assist you, if I should attempt to address to you any more detailed instructions for your guidance in the present emergency. Her Majesty's Go vernment cheerfully commit to your hands the safety of the important part of the dominions of the Crown over which your authority extend. In the dischorg© of that trust, you will have the highest claim to every degree of support which it may be in our power to give. I have, &c. No. LI. COPY OF A DESPATCII PROM THE EARL OF GOSFORD TO LORD GLENELG, DATED CASTLB OF ST. LEWIS, QISF,CEC, NOY. 22, 1837. (No. 121.) My Lord,—As the press of important business has left me but half an hour to secure to-day's post, which is the last that will be in time for the next packet that leaves New York for England, and as I am aware that your Lordship must feel anxious to be informed of the progress of events since my dis patch of the 9th instant, No. 116, reporting the collision be tween the opposing parties at Montreal. on the 6th, I hasten to transmit the accompanying documents, six in number, as the shortest and best mode of conveying to you the most de tailed account of what has since taken place ; and, although some of these are newspaper reports, they contain an accurate and full representaton of recent occurrences. Of the twenty-six individuals against whom warrants for high treason have been issued, nine have been taken, and are now confined in the Montreal gaol. Two were rescued near Longucuil, as your Lordship will perceive from the accom panying papers, by an armed force, who fired upon and wounded four of the mounted police. The rest of the ac cused, including Messrs. Papineau and O'Callaghan, have not yet been found. Some of them, it is supposed, have fled into the adjoining states; but Mr. Papineau is not of the num ber, although it is uncertain where he is. Upon the advice of my Council, and the representations of the Attorney-General, that the success of his initia tory legal proceedings would be hazarded, and he was unwilling therefore to incur the risk of commencing them, SO loaf? as certain iudividuals remained in the magistracy for Montreal,' I at once issued a new commission of the peece for that district, omitting the names of the objec tionable justices, and inserting others in their place; and I have authorized the formation of an armed volunteer corps in the eastern townships, to the extent of 800 men. '1 hese decisive measures, and the desertion of the leading agitators in the moment of danger, will, I trust, open the eyes of the deluded habitants, and eventually restore public tranquillity and good order, without my being obliged to act upon the report of the Executive Council of the 20th instant, for de claring parts of the district of Montreal in a state of insur rection and rebellion. Five individuals, including Mr. Morin, the Mernter, were lately arrested in this city for spditious practices, but they have been admitted to bail by the Chief Justice of the Province, the accus,d in 500/., with two sureties, each in 2501. Enclosure 1, in No. 51. REPORT FROM THE ATTORNEY AND SOLICITOR-GENERALS, RE SPECTING PROCEEDINGS IN TIM DISTRICT OF MONTREAL. Montreal, November 18, 1837, That our undivided attention has been since devoted to the attainment of such evidence as would authorize the arrest of those political incendiaries to whose machinations the present alarming state of this city and district is to be attributed. Having at length accomplished this important object, by the asfAstanee of Messrs. Curillier and Penn, two of the magis trates of this district, to whom the depositions and accom panying documents were submitted, with our opinion, that the charges contained in them amounted to high treason against the parties implicated therein, warrants were issued for their apprehension to the number of twenty-six. The names of these individuals are contained in Appendix, letter A. The high constable and special constables to whom the exe cution of this duty was confided, succeeded in arresting in the night of the 16th instant, and lodging in the common gaol of this district, the six persons named in Appendix B. Warrants were simultaneously issued for the arrest of Drs. Darignault and LiermAis, and P. P. D'Emary, notary-public, and entrusted to a body of mounted police, who, accompanied by a Magistrate, ware dispatched that night, by way of Lon gueuil and Chambly, to their respective residences. It is to be regretted that the object of this expedition has been_frustrated; the police were successful in apprehending two of the accused, but upon their return to Montreal, when within two miles of Longucuil, they were intercepted by a large body of armed inhabitants, who, firing upon them from behind the fences and a barn which bordered the road, whee they were themselves unassailable, compelled the pace to abandon their prisoners. Depositions having been made to this effect, and it having been deemed expedient to reinforce the garrison of Chambly with four companies of the Royals, under Lieutenant-Colonel Wetherall, and two pieces of artillery, a party of mounted police, accompanied by the deputy sheriff, two magistrates, and a constable, have been dispatched with the military, under instructions to recapture the prisoners, if practicable, and, further, to arrest any indi viduais who might be identified as having aided and a betted in a treasonable rescue. In the course of yesterday Dr. Lion nais, one of the accused, who was absent from his house on Thursday night, was arrested in the city and committed to the common gaol.

There has been almost a continued fall of snow since yestercay, and the streets are now com pletely covered with it to a considerable depth. The greatest cold last winter was on the 2d of January, when the thermo meter fell to 24—not so low by 6 degrees as it was last night. The Weekly Dispatch of Sunday next, January 14, 1838, will contain the best account of the total destruction by fire of the Royal Exchange, Lloyd's Coffee House, and adja cent buildings, on the evening of Wednesday l ast, with every particular connected with the history of the building ; also a full and descriptive account of the origin of the conflagration, and other interesting matter connected with the calamity.— Dispatch Office, 139, Fleet-street.

LONDON : THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 11, 1333. TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF THE EXCHANGE BY FIRE. In another part of our paper, will be found full particulars of the above disastrous event. We are happy in being enabled to state to our readers connected with the Shipping Interest, that the whole of the papers and memoranda connected with the Policies of Insurance effected at LLOYD'S during the last year have been saved—the Underwriters' drawers in the different tables have been secured and de. posited in St. Bartholomew's Church and the Bank of England, where they are kept till claimed by their respective owners. So great was the anxiety to rescue every scrap of paper, and every species of property, from the destructive element, that Bank of England notes to the amount of 4001. or 500/. were, this morning, found openly lying on a chest, in St. Bartholomew's Church, which had been there during the whole of the night, although hundreds of persons had been en gaged in depositing property there during the fire. The business in Parliament on the meeting of the Houses on Tuesday, and probably for the Session, will be the most interesting that has engaged the Legislature since the discussions on the Reform Bill. The state of the civil war in Canada, the redress of grievances, and the re-construction of the Colonial Constitution, will necessarily occupy the most promi nent part, and on the measures which the Government may propose with regard to these three important topics will be founded the hopes and the opinions of the public as to their future conduct. For measures of coercion and severity they are stronger than per haps any former Ministry. Any plans for restraining the privileges of the Colonists, for punishing with ex treme rigour the guilty, and for retaining them in sub jection more from fear than affection or esteem, will meet with the support of a party whose great engine of Government has been brute force, who, when the people began to call for Reform, gave them the sus pension of the Habeas Corpus ; who for ages, with but very few intervals, have ruled Ireland as a conquered country, and who have rarely made any concessions to the people at home, or to our colonies in any part of the globe, but from dire necessity. The Whig Administration—who came into office—who were continued in office for four years—and who, after an ill-advised dismissal, were again brought back to office by the affectionate support of the people—will shun as a pestilence such an example, and avoid a line of policy ever followed by the most pernicious results. The humane disposition of the Nobleman at the head of the Colonial Department, if his advice be followed, will secure to the misguided Canadians the most mer ciful treatment ; and followed no doubt it will be, unless the Ministry court self-destruction. Were he to resign his office from inability to carry his benevolent wishes into effect, his resignation would be the signal of their dissolution. That the war will be carried on with vigour till the Colonists are brought to a sense of duty, the latest accounts from Canada, and the prepara tions in progress at home, hold out almost a certainty ; and the Legislature will then have to undertake the peaceful, but not less difficult task, of remodelling the Constitution in a way that will secure to the French and British settlers in both provinces equal rights, and confer on them the roost ample privileges that a co lony can demand from the Mother-country. Without such conditions, it would not be for our advantage, nor would it be in our power, to keep possession of Canada. We should have again the same petitions for redress—the same list of grievances annually brought before Parliament—and should be forced to keep down the people at an enormous expense, till they enlisted the sympathy of other nations ; and some unforeseen emergency at home, or a foreign war, com pelled England—after much vain expenditure and great loss of life—to give up the con test I The time, too, is come for settling the affairs of Ireland, and it affords great consolation to the friends of that afflicted country to find that her prospects are now so bright. The conduct of the people for the last two years—their total abstinence from any thing like collision with the discontented in any of our colonies—and their unbounded loyalty to the pre sent Sovereign, entitle them to the highest praise, and call on every Tory, Whig, and Radical in Great Britain to unite in doing them justice. Never was there a time more propitious, or an occasion when it could be granted with such good grace, or received with more kindly feelings. • We hare reason to believe that the LORD CHAN CELLOR has had before him for some time the re appointment of old, and the selection of new country M a gistrates. His Lordship knows very well that this is a matter of vital importance to the people of E n gland, and that much is expected at his hands. While rotten Boroughs existed, such rotten ioroughs were the arteries of corruption. The country Magis trates in counties, and self-elected Corporations in towns, were the veins intersecting nearly the whole body politic, and conveying foul poison, and not healthy blood, from the extremities to the heart. Many of those evils, thank GOD, have been abated. The Mu nicipal Bill has purified the towns ; but it was found not so easy to get rid of the corrupt influences that hung over the rural districts. The land was over ridden with Parson and Tory Justices, and great counties were held in the Light gripe of haughty Lords- Lieutenant. However notorious the factious and des potic opinions of those functionaries, both high and low, there was no fair or constitutional excuse for de priving them of their offices. It has not been the practice, and we hope it never will be the prac tice, to subject Magistrates to indignities merely on account of their opinions —hence, howerer palpable the hostility of such Magistrates to both Government and people, they could not very well be removed with out their having committed some overt act to justify such removal. It is true the Tories dismissed the late Earl FITZWILLIAM for attending a public meeting on the Manchester massacre ; but such dismissal was most violently attacked by the friends of liberal principles for its unconstitutional character, and it would therefore ill become them to act upon it as a precedent. There is no necessity, however, at this time for such a prece dent, or for the slightest deviation from the delicacy that has generally been observed towards the nomi nees of the Lor&-Lieutenant, in effecting a great and beneficial change. The commencement of a new reign affords a most admirable opportunity for placing many of the friends of the people on the bench; which opportunity, if the Government, from any infirmity of purpose, do not embrace, they will most richly deserve the inevitable fate that will await them in forthcoming County Elections. We are glad that one notorious Metropolitan Magistrate, who rarely knew how to temper dignity with mildness, or look with compassion upon misfortune, has, for very sufficient reasons, felt it prudent to retire, and we think the Government is deserving of some praise for the means by which it pro duced such a result ; but this, though good as far as it goes, is nothing compared to the vast and bene ficial alteration which might be effected. Vie will just point out one way to which we ask the most fas tidious to advance—if they can—a single personal or constitutional objection. The Reform Bill has divided most of the Counties of England, and now by the operation of that Bill each division is almost as much a County in itself as the whole was before. If for the purpose of the representation of the franchise, why not for the administration of justice, act upon such division? Why not have a Lord-Lieutenant for each half ? Give the present Noblemen the choice as to which division they will severally continue to govern ; or give each of them that division in which his property is chiefly situated ; and then there would be no dismissals—no removals—no indignity—no injustice—each would continue the title and rank he at present holds, with merely the addition of north, or north-east, or west affixed to his locality ;—while at the same time another might be appointed to the distant district who re sided upon it, and whose opinions were not in hostility either to the Ministers of the Crown, or the liberties of the people. This would lead to a just and permanent - increase of an independent and popular Magistracy, and in time ef fectually cure the evil which has so long and so cryingly existed. We could heap instances upon instances of the perverse spirit with which Tory Lords- Lieutenant are animated in refusing to recommend Magistrates for districts where they are absolutely wanted, merely because those resident gentlemen who cannot be passed over take a different line of politics to the Lords-Lieutenant. In a parish connected with the metropolis, containing 50,000 souls and immense property, there is but one resident magistrate who is 70 years of age, another having removed sometime ago, and a third being a Parson Justice, who considered it prudent some years since to absent himself without making any noise in so doing, and whose return is neither desired nor expected. In many cases the presence of more than one Magistrate is necessary for justice business, and upwards of 700 of the most respectable inhabitants of all parties in this parish, feeling the inconvenience, have petitioned the LORD CHAN CELLOR to let them have another Magistrate, on the ground that the Lord-Lieutenant (whose family are the greatest sinecurists in the kingdom), will not stir in the matter, in consequence of the liberal opi nions entertained by the gentleman whom all acknow ledge to be the fittest for the office. Other cases of a similar character are also before his Lordship, and have been so for months—yet nothing is done. Why ? Will the Government take our hint, and then the reason that restrains them will be removed perma nently and effectually. In our columns of this day will be found the sub stance of a Parliamentary Return, moved for on the 23d of last month, embodying all that is important in the official correspondence between the Colonial Se cretary and the Lieutenant-Governor of Lower Ca nada, from the Bth of March 1837, to the 6th of December following, inclusive. We cannot suffi ciently impress upon our readers the attention with which it behoves all who are not perfectly acquainted with the progress of insurrection in the Lower Pro vince, and who know nothing of the extreme reluc tance of the Government to adopt harsh measures, to peruse these extracts carefully, before venturing to decide upon the merits of the question at issue between the Colonial insurgents and the Mother-country. The despatches of Lord GOSFORD reflect the highest credit upon his Lordship's sense of justice and humanity ; and the many fruitless expedients had recourse to by the Government ir ere, in order to avert an appeal to arms on the part of the deluded Canadians, fully demon strates the pain with which Ministers saw themselves at last compelled to oppose force by force with a view to afford protection to the peaceable inhabitants, and to vindicate the majesty of Great Britain. Lord GOSFORD seems to have been but very imperfectly in formed of the intentions of the leading revolutionists before it was too late to check them effectually. Thus so late as the month of April last we find him address ing Lord GLENELG in these words : " I see no chance whatever of any serious commotion here in consequence of your proceedings. As to armed resistance I see no ground for apprehending anything of the kind." The proceedings here referred to, are LordJOIIN RUSSELL'S well-•known coercive resolutions, of which copies had been transmitted to the Governor-in-chi e f, before they were brought forward in the House of Commons. Now, Lord GOSFORD'S experience of the temper of the House of Assembly, acquired from personal observation, and his knowledge of the career of his immediate predecessor, ought to have convinced him, that the adoption, by the I m periallParliament, of the Resolutions submitted to him would be followed by a political hurricane in the Province. But up to the moment when the de signs of the rebels could no longer be concealed, Lord GOSFORD trusted that by a judicious exercise of the power vested in him---by steering a middle course b etween the Ultra-Royalists on one side, and the Ultra-Democrats on the other—he would baffle the schemes of the disaffected, by leaving them without any pretext for taking up arms. We must here praise the Governor's heart, at the expense of his head. In his early calculations he manifested but a sorry share of political sagacity : nor was it be fore September that he became apprehensive of any real danger. He then found that he had previously miscalculated the strength, and misunderstood the ob ject of the outcry raised by the PAPINEAU party. In a dispatch, dated Sept. 2, he thus expresses the con viction that then first dawned upon him : It is evident that the Papineau faction are not to be satis fied with any concession that does not place them in a more favourable position to carry into effect their ulterior ()Wets, namely, the separation of the country from England, and the establishment or a Republican form of Government. Mr. Papineau has gone such lengths that he must now persevere in the course he has taken, or submit to a defeat, which would annihilate all his power and influence. The plan he pursues clearly shows that he is determined to do all he can to obtain his ends. In another despatch, dated seven days later, Lord GOSFORD, in demanding extraordinary powers to meet the urgency of the case, details more fully the conclu sion at which he had finally arrived, respecting the in tentions of the disaffected, and the only way which appeared to him likely to frustrate them : We can now make no terms with Mr. Papineau ; you must either put him down, or submit to let him put you down ; there is no halting between two opinions. By at once irr creasing the power of the Executive and suspending the con stitution, you at once paralyse the designs of these mis chievous men ; it would establish confidence in the minds of those disposed to peace and good government, and at no dis tant period you might be solicited to restore the Constitution to the province, under arrangements better calculated to afford satisfaction than could be accomplished by any effort or propo sal in the present state of things ; for, until you nullify; Papi neau's power, you can never be in a position to treat on ana thing like fair and liberal terms with a man of his extravagant, uncompromising, destructive views, exercising as he does com plete control over the minds of many who have been too long accustomed to be under his yoke. As I stated in former let ters I do not expect any serious commotion ; at the same time, when I see so many clever unprincipled engines in action, yielding implicit obedience to*the mandates of such a man as Mr. Papineau, it is impossible to set limits to the extent of mischief they may construct. The jealousy that exists between the two origins, is also a powerful instrument in the hands of a Convention, or Central Committee, as be fore alluded to ; and corresponding as they no doubt do, with various parts of the province. The two extremes arc doing incalculable mischief, and must dis gust every friend to liberal measures. The feelings of the great body of the French Canadians are decidedly loyal, and favourable to peace and order—and it now rests with the Government by wise and judicious measures, to protect them from the designs of those who are now working upon their credulity by the most gross misrepresentations and contrivances. The jealousy that existed between the two races, I found upon my arrival here had reached such a height that from the first I considered it one of the principal obstacles to a satisfactory adjustment of difficulties. I must, however, observe that this has been greatly diminished ; and I can reckon as friends to my administration a large proportion of the reason able and liberal men of the province. The ultras on both sides are struggling for ascendancy, and my determined oppo sition to the views of both in this respect, perhaps may in so - me measure account for their hostility to me, but I cannot re linquish my principles on this point. From the date of these extracts it is manifest that Lord GOSFORD had his eyes opened too late. The winter, in fact, had set in ; and no precautions were taken to render abortive any attempt at rebellion. It is evident that the defeat of the PAPINEAU party under such circumstances could only result from the staunch loyalty of the majority of the people in both Provinces. The insurrection has now every chance of being put down, without the presence of a single additional regiment from this country. The Paris Journals of Tuesday have all been re ceived, from which we have gleaned the following extracts : We have the following from Bona, dated 31st Dec.:— " Since the arrival of Major-General Negrier at Constan tine, of which he has taken the command, the face of affairs in our province is changed, and we, unhappily, begin to fear that the negotiations with Achmet Bey, interrupted by the death of General Damremont, are going to be resumed. It is even said, that in consequence of certain indications, the old Bey has drawn nearer to Constantine, into which city he hopes soon to return. Various circumstances are said to have occasioned the recal of General Bernelle, whose energetic character could not have accommodated itself to the viols of the Go vernment. We spent much money for the expedition to Tle mccen, in the province of Oran, and thlt place was afterwards abandoned; it will be the same with Constantine." Lord Clanricarde has just arrived at Paris. —Le Constitu tional. The news of the approaching return to France of part of the squadron in the Levant is confirmed by letters from Smyrna, brought to Toulon by the Indienne transport. We hear by this channel that Admiral Gallois was on shore to re cover his health. We have letters from Bona of 29th December, which say that troops were withdrawn from that part of the regency to Algiers. Marshal Vallee seems resolved to occupy Blida. Colonel Delarue was at Bona, on the point of going to invest Constantina and the intermediate stations. The convoys between Constantine and Bona were fre. quent, but tne train loses many borses.-Le Commerce. FRENCH FUNDS -Yams, JAN. 9. Five per Cents., 108 f 46;!.. 55c. 335. 40c.

There was a very full attendance of gentlemen of the bar, but none of those present had any motions to make. Tull QUEEN V. TUE PROPRIBTOAS OF 1H LEEDS ARE LIVERPOOL CANAL COMPANY. Lord DamM►N gave judgment in this case, which was an appeal against a rate for the relief of the paor of the parish of Liverpool. The Company had been rated in a sum of 5,4004., and had appealed against the rate. The Court of Quarter Sessions hail confirmed the rate, subject to the opinion of that Court upon a case stated. After referring to the various local Acts which bore upon the subject, Lord DIiNIKAN observed, that with respect to the sum of 1,8001. assessed upon the lands and towing paths, the Court was of opinion that the assessment had been rightly taken. The Court then went through the other items of assessment, and ob served, that on the whole they were of opinion that the assessment upon the appellants ought to 1):3 for the sum of 3,710/.

This case, which has occupied some of the time of nearly every Court in Westminster Hall for the last ten years, has been fully argued in this Court upon two Rules, and part heard upon another. • This morning Sir F. POLLOCK applied for the judgment of the Court upon the former. Mr. Sims considered the motion as one of a most unusual cha racter. Since the cause was last before the Court the assignees had bribed Mr. Chambers with a sum of 20,0001., and amongst the parties the Trustees were to be made the sufferers. Had it been at all known that an application of such a nature was contemplated, Sir 'Milian Follett and other eminent Counsel would have been present to oppose it. He hoped the Court would not lend Itself to such a transaction. Lord DENMAN—I think the only thing the Court has to do is to look at these papers. We cannot, at all events, proceed with the case till after the sixth day of Term.
